How to make good laundry starch
is what every good housewife wants to
know. Troy Laundry Journal gives
the following directions as to how to
make and use laundry starch: For
general work, ten ounces OF wheat and
six ounces of corn-starch to every gal
Ion OF water is found to give excellent
satisfaction. One ounce is about one
heaping tablespoonfuD. This starch
when thoroughly dissolved in water is
poured into the kettle containing the
requisite amount of water and actively
stirred until the whole is brought to
the boiling point, and there it is main
tanned from forty minutes to an hour.
Starching consists of three operations,
l. e., forcing the starch into the several
layers of fabric, removing the wrinkles,
and finally wiping eff all superduous
starch from the surface. The starcher
spreads the work on the table, covers it
with starch, and rubs it quickly to and
fro with the palm and fingers of the
right hand, the left hand resting on the
right, and the weight of the body being
thrown upon the arms. At the same
time with the aid of her finger.nails she
dexterously moves the wrinkles about
until they entirely disappear. If shirts
are being starched, a dozen or more
are rubbed on wrong side, then finished
on the right; if collars or cuffs, they are
piled until several dozen have accumu-
lated, when the ''wiping off, takes
place. From an exchange we clip the
following method: For a quart of
starch when made, take a little over a
tablespoonful OF raw starch dissolve it
in water, add a single drop of blue, and
then pour on boiling water stirring it
until it boiIs. Let it boil fifteen or
twenty minutes, then add a half-tea-
spoonful of kerosene and stir we'll. In
to the boiling starch put collars and
cuffs, and from it wiring bosoms and
wristbands, rubbing it well and smooth
lyin- When the starehed clothes are
dry, dip them into solution made by
dissolving heaping teaspoonful of raw
starch in a quart of lukewarm water,
with Tablespoonful Of pulverized
berax added, and roll them tightly, the
collars and cuffs in towels. Let them
lie an hour or so and then iron. 1t
may be well to lay an old handker-
chief over the bosoms and pass the iron
OVERT, before putting the iron directly
on the linen. Have clean linen or
cotton rag and q bowl of clean water at
hand, and with these remove any specks
